I think it would definitely be more common for imperial citizens to be drones in manufactorums, administratum and commercial enterprises, even if there are countless numbers working in various military and naval roles. Even with every economy geared towards providing, ultimately, more fire power for the Imperium, the attendant requirements for civilian life would be huge.
A really great way to get an appreciation for this is reading Dan Abnett's Inquisitor series, which take a step away from the frontline and instead see inquisitors thrust into the daily intrigues of peaceful life in the imperium. It's Hobbesian, but not war.
